Extra points for combining sicknesses to create a decent pun.

Thanks for the input, snoboy. I think I'll try some SmartWool with and without liners when I go shopping for boots.

Still a dick of the first water. Some things never change. Suck butt-nuggets, Necro.

I agree, Dru. I always thought that was a curious name. Anyone know the history?

hehehe. Sure I can, just flipping it back, there, sugar.

I didn't think you hiked anywhere.

Since I've been totally bored lately, I have taken to debating the obscure with myself. Now I bring it to you. What sock combinations do you gapers use and what works? I have always used liners and wool socks. This has given me mixed results: feet don't always stay dry and I do get blisters/hotspots. I have been looking at the SmartWool socks and been thinking about trying them out. Do any of you use these? With or without liners?

Here, Here!!!

Thanks, don't gamble.

I'll be in Vegas on business and have several extra days to climb. If you are interested drop me a PM and we can get specific.

Once they give you the driver's license they try and sell you the Pont Neuf in gay Paris.

How I read tlg's post: "blah, blah, blah,.......spanking......blah, blah.

Yes, welcome. Of course there will be the obligatory initiation, dues, gifts, etc. You'll be receiving a packet in the mail. Don't mind the ticking, we give you a free wall clock; it's nice.

Who was a submarine captain?

"I soundly nominate this candidate to succeed the Honorable Charlton Heston as President of YOUR National Rifle Association!" Wooohoooo!!!! <massive cheering and standing ovations>

How do you "regulate" freedom?

You forgot oil tycoons and former CIA directors

Why don't you drive up this weekend and find out? As to your second premise, it doesn't hold water.

I use a sharpie on the tail of the knot. What I quoted was mainly for runners and such. Cam slings is a bit more of a quandry. I know that the material breaks down due to age, somewhat. There was a thread on this several months ago.

I don't dispute that, but I'm sure I could read up on how to wack your stank ass in true ghetto fashion.

Sorry to hear that, Veggie. Unfortunately, DFA will exclaim that that can't possibly happen to him because no one he knows knows your receptionist. Thanks for the warning that crazy things happen during the holidays.

The date (month/year) that I tie it. We're not designing rockets to the moon, here, honey.

Step off, byotch. I'm not afraid to get ghetto on your ass, homey!!!

I think I've read that you should replace slingage as often as you replace your rope. Personally, I just keep an eye on them; especially tied runners. I write the date on mine.

There ARE other gun lobbies you bastard-ass. Why don't you go sniff j_b's butt nuggets?
